Music Production
I consider playing the piano as a meditative and therapeutic practice for me and my way of relaxing my mind. After a long day of working in front of a computer, its nice to have music to help me unwind at the end of the day.
I use a Boss RC-505 Loop station to record grooves, improvised melodies and jam sessions and arrange them into instrumentals using Logic Pro X.
Some of my favorite artists include: Thelonious Monk, Amy Winehouse, Ray Charles, Snoh Aalegra, Oscar Peterson, Scott Storch and J Dilla.
